Windscreen Broke

[Rebel1]

Phil, Let me tell you a story.

I have two screens.....The first one I bought from RMC as a frame only. I purchased the glass screen from the Brisbane head office of a nation wide supplier.

On day of delivery I turned up to collect and while they were putting the screen into the back of my daily driver it cracked.

Off they went and installed a new glass.....Next day, I'm back to collect and guess what....same thing happened.

Third day,,,guess what....same again...that was now three screens which cracked without any load at all.

Long story short.....urethane..the problem was traced down to that rubber section they force between the frame and the glass.

Both my screens now have urethane rather than the runner extrusion.

I got tired of replacing glass years ago. A Lexan screen has been in ever since with no problems and at times I have demonsrated its strength with a hammer........no problems.
We had a problem with roadworthy in S.A, untill one of the Conrad owners took a frame and a four pound hammer and let them try to break it.......They accepted them after that....

What a Rip off from Obrien's Glass and I can concur that you can buy the whole shooting match for the same kind of money!

We had a guy recently with a golf ball strike. '08 Prado front screen.

The local windscreen guy, who comes to you, $250.00 all up.

OBrien Glass, you have to go their "specialised' workshop, where they use extra special grade 5 technicians and advanced adhesives...........$695.00
